letra de doctor james - gilmore & roberts
[verse 1]
here lies the body of a high-ranked man
a high-ranked man with a stone so plain
buried in a cemetery in kensal green
in victoria’s reign
[refrain]
tell me your secret, doctor james
[verse 2]
trained in medicine, joined the army
joined the army to make your name
you cursed and swore the worst of all
a ladies’ man, they claimed
a delicate face and your voice was high
your voice was high, they called you names
you fought two duels and you won them both
put them all to shame
[refrain]
tell me your secret, doctor james
[chorus]
you’re not a well-known figure in our history
it seems a few have even heard your name
the tales of your success become a mystery
so tell me your secret
tell me your secret, doctor james
[verse 3]
caesarian birth for a mother and child
of a mother and child one life remained
yours was the first where both survived
a higher rank you claimed
the years flew by on foreign soil
on foreign soil you fought for change
you had no time for a wife or child
people thought it strange
[refrain]
tell me your secret, doctor james
[chorus]
you’re not a well-known figure in our history
it seems a few have even heard your name
the tales of your success become a mystery
so tell me your secret…
[verse 4]
your work life done, you traveled home
you traveled home for your final days
a weakened body but a hardened heart
nurse nightingale did say
a maid was sent to dress the body
the doctor’s body on the funeral day
she cried, “this corpse has a female form!
dressed as a man but she’s a woman born
for years and years she’s fooled us all
the devil comes this way!”
i’m telling your secret, doctor james
[chorus]
you’re not a well-known figure in our history
it seems a few have even heard your name
the tales of your success become a mystery
i’m telling your secret
i’m telling your secret, doctor james
